Seven years, nineteen films, a celebration wedding that was the talk of the tinsel town, and then handing over the torch to the next generation. That about sums up the career of the once beauty star – Babita. Greetings to her on the 67 birthday today (20th April).
The short lived career, however, was a scintillating one. She appeared opposite to practically all the top heroes in the industry at that time, and did a number of musical romantic films, as could have be the draw for the young and beautiful lady. It is known that GP Sippy first offered the role of Sheetal, the young widow with child, for his upcoming film ‘Andaz’ (1971) to Babita. After some in-family discussions, she turned down the role, possibly considering that it might work to be a negative for her career. Another youngster, Hema Malini, took on the role. Hema Malini had made her debut in 1969, three years after Babita’s debut (‘Dus Lakh’, 1966). Both are of the same age though, having the same year of birth. The trajectories of their subsequent careers and lives, tell their own stories.

Before today, I had only heard the name. Poring through the lists of artists, one comes across so many names, and so many times, one just skips over and goes ahead.
Today, I heard his voice for the first time. And simply fell in love with it. It started with this song, and then in search of this voice, I went over the online resources, and got a chance to hear more of his songs, most of them in chaste Punjabi. And I am thinking, what misfortune that I never got introduced to this voice earlier.

aaye bahaar ban ke

These lines would apply to so many artists, especially those whose careers in the industry have been short lived, or curtailed for various reasons. But whatever is the measure of the duration of their work in the industry, it is their creations that continue to delight us, and keeps the memories alive. Even if it is one song. And the fun part is the process of discovery that continues. Some of these lesser known artists ended up working for lesser known banners and films. Their music would only sometimes make it to the mainstream and popular cinema. Most of the time they created songs for movies that remained unknown and obscure. Today, when we dig up such unheard gems, that first encounter is such a charm and a pleasure.
Gopal Bahadur Singh is one such songwriter, whose work mostly remained confined to religious an stunt action films in the 1950s and 60s. We are more familiar with his pen name – Gopal Singh Nepali or GS Nepali, the poet who gave us the timeless bhajan – “Darshan Do Ghanshyam Nath Mori Ankhiyaan Pyaasi Re” in the film ‘Narsi Bhagat’ (1957).
Remembering GS Nepali on the anniversary of his passing away today (17th April).

Names of so many artists echo back to us from the decades past. Names that stir up memories of wonderful songs, sometimes happy, sometimes melancholic, but always very endearing. Their words, their sounds and their music continues to mesmerize us, even though the creators themselves have long ago taken their final journey.
Today is the anniversary of passing away of poet Aarzoo Lakhnavi, one of the stalwarts of the earlier decades of Hindi cinema.

In the second half of 1960s and the first half of 1970s, Shashi Kapoor was the busiest actor in the industry. After his struggle years of early 1960s, and riding on the success of films like ‘Jab Jab Phool Khile’ (1965), he started getting offers in such huge numbers, and because he did not turn down any one, there was a time when he was booked for almost 5 to 7 years at a single stretch.

Mention of RK Films brings to mind the unbroken partnership of 22 long years between the music director duo of Shankar Jaikishan and the songwriters Shialnedra and Hasrat Jaipuri. Starting from ‘Barsaat’ in 1949, and all the way up to ‘Mera Naam Joker’ in 1971, this quartet ruled the music and songs at RK Films, collaborating for every RK film produced during this period (with the exception of Shailendra, who passed away in 1966).
